User-friendly, easy to deploy, and stable

I give the solution a nine out of ten. We require one engineer for maintenance. I would highly recommend N2WS Backup & Recovery, as I have had no issues and the sales and technical support teams have been excellent. They keep in touch with us every three to six months via email and phone calls.

"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

"It's simple to use."

Cons

"The GUI has room for improvement."

"There is room for improvement in stability."

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."

"The GUI could be slightly improved."

"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."

"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."

"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."

"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."

"They could be more customer-friendly."

"The pricing could be lowered if possible."

"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."

"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."

"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."

"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."

"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."

"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."

"It's very economical and worth the cost."

"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."

"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."

"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"The costing is very competitive."

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"Price-wise it's good."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
